Does the farmer do well or ill when in time of low prices and diminished demand for his pro- ducts he deliberately plants smaller acreage? Should he be commended or rebuked for ad- justing his production to the conditions of his market? If the farmer is a kind of serf whose only purpose in life is to raise abundant food at the cheapest possible price for the other members of the commun- ity, he ought of course to plant all he can, work as hard as he can and raise all he can every year. If he is a selfsupporting citizen engaged in the business of producing foodstuffs for sale to his fellow citizens who are otherwise employed, it is hard to} see any reason why he _ should} not use his intelligence in esti-| mating the amount of his crops} that he can sell at such prices as | to give him a decent living, and | then restrict his production to| that amount.

But that does not affect the conclu- sion that the farmers have a per- fect right to adjust their work and eir production to they believe is to be the effect- ual demand, and that it is often wise for them to do it.
